New Jeep looks great. I still miss my KJ, especially on the trails, but 5 months after selling it and buying a Grand Cherokee and I don't miss the Liberty's highway manners. I miss the zero monthly car payment a lot!

Loving it so far. wont get to play in the dirt for a few weeks.

That was my original plan but didn't work out and I'll definitely miss the KJ for sure. It was getting to the point where it would sit for 3-4 weeks at a time and I was keeping it alive just to drive to hunting camp 4 hours away for a few trips a year, and a few trips to the off road park. The...

Washed it, removed all my personal belongings, and preparing to drive it one more time before it has a new owner.

Took me a few months but I'll be taking delivery of my new GC Trailhawk Monday. With all the electronic 4x4 buttons and gizmos I'll have to study up on them before going off road. I'm excited but still sad to see my first Jeep go on to another life (hopefully not the scrapyard!) My wife joking...

Thanks. I'm getting pulsing vibrations over 55 mph now so I don't want it worse. I'm going to go with the rebuild kit and see how that turns out.

I'm looking for one now :icon_razz: I was going to go with the CV rebuild kits but I'm on my second OEM shaft now (original replaced at 110K - 10K after lift) and was thinking this bad boy might last longer 2002-2007 JEEP LIBERTY FRONT DRIVE SHAFT - DIRECT BOLT IN - NEW BALANCED - 1310 -...

I decided to keep my 05 for the same reason. Jeep dealer was willing to give me the best offer (still way below what I wanted) IF I bought a brand new Grand Cherokee from them. I definitely learned the expensive mods don't equal more resale value.

Same issue with me, been dealing with it for many years. My fix was to install a battery disconnect knob on the negative terminal. Of course if i forget to use it my Odyssey battery goes in 3-5 days. My ignition switch is original so maybe a replacement is in order.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience over the years. It was not an easy decision to sell but it was easy deciding to buy another Jeep. The KJ was my first Jeep and best vehicle I've ever owned - despite some of my rants when things broke now and then.

After 12 and a half years of being the original owner of my KJ I'm ready to pass it on to the next owner. I'll be posting to the for sale section of this forum once I get it washed and pretty for pictures. I definitely want to give this community first shot at it before I try to sell it locally...

I have same. You will like it!

Either way it has not deterred me from driving it. Put 1300 miles on it the last 3 weeks, and probably another 1000 more in the next month.

I rotate all 5 (full size spare) religiously every 3000miles. Last alignment was a few months ago after axles installed but before that maybe a year ago. I couldn't notice anything myself by looking so I'll bring to tire shop right around the corner and ask. Thanks!
